On January 22, 1973, in its twin
decisions, Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton, the
U.S. Supreme Court created a constitutional right to abortion
throughout the nine months of pregnancy. These decisions have been
widely criticized on historical, scientific, and legal grounds.
Scholar John Hart Ely said of Roe: "It is bad because it
is bad constitutional law, or rather because it is not
constitutional law and gives almost no sense of an obligation to
try to be." ("The Wages of Crying Wolf," Yale Law Journal
1973)

The purpose of EndRoe.org is to promote a
fuller understanding of what the Court did in Roe and
Doe and why these fundamentally erroneous decisions must
be corrected.
